Comment 5 for bug 47767

preseed (1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Geert Stappers ]
  * Allow the URL to a preseed file to be specified as the filename in
    the DHCP lease. The filename must contain "://" to be used as an URL.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Don't ignore the last continued line.
  * When extracting filename from DHCP lease, be sure to quote it to prevent
    accidents.
  * Look for dhcp lease files in turn, not based on which dhcp client is
    found, to avoid tight binding to which one netcfg prefers to run.
  * Load dhcp preseed file first, but then load any specified preseed/url.
    This allows for using dhcp preseeding for network-global stuff, like
    mirrors etc, while fully automating installs in the old manner. Note that
    I chose to let preseed/url override the dhcp preseeding; which should
    override the other is debatable. Also, there is some code duplication
    between network-preseed.isinstallable and network-preseed.postinst.
    Closes: #319524
